Avsec went along with the joke, waiting another two months before he responded, "Hey sorry was in the shower."

The back and forth of frivolous excuses continued for months, three years to be exact.

Last Friday, Avsec tweeted his exchange with Arendas, noting the dates on the messages saying, "Hahahaha one day I'm going to meet this girl and it's going to be epic. Look at the dates of our tinder texts."

The tweet sent social media into a frenzy, being retweeted thousands of times.

People suggested that the pair meet in real life.

Tinder agreed. The dating app tweeted the pair with the following ultimatum. "It's time you got together IRL. You have 24 hours to decide the city you want to have your first date in and we'll send you there!"
